Ben: I met your father at Biggin Hill, I suppose it must have been 1978 or 79. He was flying a Dollar 206 (I don't remember which one) and he was on a gas survey.

I was just a wee lad in those days but he knew my godfather and remains in my memory for his spirited take-off which he performed for my pleasure. He was, by all accounts, a most capable pilot.

Keep the photos coming - wonderful!

OJB: Great clips from the Treasure Hunt days. As you've probably read we have an ex-Treasure Hunter on Rotorheads, PPRuNer Geoffersincornwall.

Here's a shot of your bird in the same colours she wore for the Treasure Hunt shoot during her time with the Maltese Police:

Anyone else with memories of Wally Wilding?
